Also, you can come ask your questions at MultipleSclerosisCentral.com where we have a supportive community of MS patients and folks who are not yet diagnosed. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I'll try to answer the best I can.

I'd recommend you check out our Multiple Sclerosis site for more information about the disease and posts on all aspects of living with it. They also have a Q&A section that will likely be more help to you than ours here on the RA site.

FROM OUR COMMUNITY

you need a neurologist. He'll do a nerve study and a mri. You could have several different symptoms. My uncle startedout with tingling in his right hand then could not use it that whole arm correctly. My GP told me that the bladder is the first thing to go, not being able to hold urine. But according to my rhuemy that some biologicals can cause ms like symptoms. MY feet and hands feel like they fall asleep at the wrong times, like when I'mtyping or driving. I also get a numb tingleing sensation in my face. Ms runs in my family it has been in every generation, so I can see why you would be worried if you have symptoms. I won't go to the dr for tests I'm a big chicken.... let me know how it goes.
